Political Career[edit | edit source]

Eddie was a self-professed "Bernie Bro" who volunteered for Bernie Sanders during his 2020 run for president. Eddie later became disillusioned with the Democratic Party. His left-wing views led him to the ideals of anti-imperialism and socialism. He began posting videos in 2020 on TikTok relating to Marxism, capitalism, and anti-imperialism. His videos were formatted in an educational manner to those who may be unfamiliar with his beliefs. His original TikTok was banned at 370,000 followers, along with another at 120,000 followers. His current TikTok has nearly 300,000 followers and over 21 million likes. His YouTube, where he posts longer-form content including discussions, debates, and book reviews, has 51,000 followers. Eddie has debated several notable online figures such as Vaush and Destiny. He was also featured on the "Would America Be Better Under Communism? | Middle Ground" Jubilee Media video.

On July 21, 2024, Eddie, along with other social media personalities Jackson Hinkle and Haz Al-Din, launched the American Communist Party (ACP), an organization describing itself as "anti-woke" and largely appealing to more conservative values while pushing Marxism-Leninism. Eddie has been described as part of the "left-tube" YouTubers blowing up the "Alt-Right" pipeline. Social media influencers like Hasan Piker and Eddie are part of the reason that 52% of Gen Z (18-24) in the US view socialism positively.
